About Me/Skills

Hi there! I’m Samantha Gattsek, a producer, sound designer, and mixer with over 15 years of experience helping people bring their stories to life.

I specialize in podcast production and audio editing, collaborating with clients to craft immersive stories. My work has spanned roles in operations, production, sound design, and mixing—giving me a 360-degree view of the podcasting world. Along the way, I’ve worked with companies PRX, Slate, Sony Studios, Google and Bloomberg, and in 2021, I won a National Murrow Award for my production work on Us & Them (West Virginia Public Broadcasting).

Collaboration is at the heart of what I do. I thrive on working closely with my clients, understanding their vision, and translating it into a compelling podcast.

Whether you’re launching a new podcast, seeking audio editing services, or looking to take your existing show to the next level, I am here to help.

I’m a native New Yorker, and I can usually be found with a coffee in my left hand, and my co-producer (aka my cats) sitting on my desk.

Skills:

• Pro tools
• Producing
• Story editing
• Scripting, researching, coaching talent, and interview prep
• Descript & various transcription software
• Recording, sound designing, mixing, and cleaning up noisy audio (Izotope RX)

Get in touch—I’d love to hear about your project and see how I can help!
